| Description: |
Attitudes and prejudices from the 1720's to the 1820's. From rape and seduction to the desperate and the deviant, every aspect of the intimate lives of the men and women of Georgian England is painstakingly researched, and illustrated. |
| Synopsis: |
Using the evidence of medical texts, trial records, government statistics, pamphlets, autobiographies, novels, poems, plays, dress fashions, pornographic engravings and paintings by members of the Royal Academy, this book shows how the eighteenth century constructed the stereotype of female purity and passivity which was to be inherited by the Victorians. |
